Thanks for your understanding about our sudden closure last week, and thanks for the many well-wishes we received. Between my mother’s broken hip/sudden discharge from the care facility, Wally’s surgery (he’s fine), and a planned weekend trip, I had reached the point that I could not possibly take care of everything at the same time. I have never closed my business due to overwhelming responsibilities elsewhere in my life, but I honestly felt I had no choice. My mom’s needs combined with Wally’s needs were just overwhelming and I couldn’t in good conscience continue to let orders pile up.

Those of you who are waiting for custom or made to order items from me, I have re-activated my “Status” page, which I do every time the custom orders start to pile up. You may keep updated as to the status of your order here. I am planning to uphold the two-week turnaround that is my standard on custom or made to order items. As usual, if it will be longer, I will be contacting you personally.
